Dear Foundation Staff:
First, I want to thank all of you for the well wishes for my swift recovery.  I am getting better and I am looking forward to being back in the office.
Until I am able to return to the office full-time, the President and I have asked John Podesta to serve as a special advisor to support me and the Foundation staff in our work.  He has graciously agreed to be available by phone and email, as well as to be in the office periodically, to help provide leadership.  Please seek his guidance and decision-making as necessary to ensure the work of the Foundation continues apace while I am out.
Once I am settled into a routine, I will update you on when I am available to address matters that might be more efficient for me to handle.
Again – thanks for all the good wishes.
Bruce
